Results from the SOUL Trial: The Cardiologists' Perspective

Last week we heard the diabetologist's perspective on cardiovascular outcomes. In this weeks episode, EASD TV continues its deep dive into major clinical trials with the cardiologist’s perspective. Cardiologist Dr. Matthew Cavender (University of North Carolina) joins Vivienne Parry to unpack the SOUL trial, a major cardiovascular outcomes study evaluating oral semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes. The trial followed more than 8,000 high-risk participants and demonstrated a 14% reduction in major cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke. Dr Cavender explains why having an effective oral GLP-1 receptor agonist is an important development for both diabetes and cardiovascular care, and what the findings mean for clinical practice, guideline implementation, and patient access. From cross-disciplinary teamwork to the future of evidence-based prescribing, this episode offers a clear look at how the SOUL trial is shaping modern treatment strategies.
